Please join Willie L. Brown, Jr. and Mayor Gavin Newsom in a salute to President and Mrs. Robert A. Corrigan at a gala benefit
honoring their twenty years of dedicated service to San Francisco
State University. All proceeds from this event support the
establishment of The Robert and Joyce Corrigan SF Promise
Endowed Scholarship Fund.

SF Promise puts higher education within the reach of all public school
children in San Francisco, including those who will be the first in their
families to earn a college degree. The program, a partnership with the
city and county of San Francisco and the San Francisco Unified
School District, encourages local public school children, as early
as sixth grade, to envision a college diploma in the future. If these students meet eligibility requirements upon high school graduation, they are promised
admission to SF State and if necessary, financial aid.

The promise of a college education is the promise of a bright future for these
graduates as well as those who live and work beside them. In the coming years, SF Promise aims to double the number of San Francisco public high school graduates
who receive post-secondary education and at the same time, increase the number of college graduates from underrepresented groups. These graduates will ensure that the workforce of tomorrow mirrors the diversity of the U.S. population in an increasingly
global economy.
